Superman: Earth One Books in Order

A young Clark Kent must decide how to use extraordinary abilities in a contemporary retelling of Superman’s beginnings. Leaving his familiar world behind, he faces the choices that will transform an adopted son of Earth into its protector.

As Clark Kent adjusts to being Superman, human conflicts and a new romantic attachment test his judgment. The arrival of Parasite creates a more immediate danger: an enemy who can absorb Superman’s powers if he gets close enough.

Having survived threats from Earth and beyond, the young Superman confronts enemies whose intelligence rivals his strength. The Luthors present a challenge that forces Clark Kent to find answers his physical powers alone cannot provide.
